Murtasim!!!

Meerab called out, her voice barely above a whisper.

Murtasim turned with a jolt startled, his expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief.

Meerab gazed at the scene unfolding in front of her, A mixture of betrayal and pain clouding her judgement.

Murtasim...

Her voice was shaky as she breathed, the pain and fear of abandonment washing over her in cold waves.

Meerab aisa kuch nahin tha mujhe laga tum ho.

Murtasim spoke, his eyes clouded with fear, the fear of being misunderstood, clouded his heart.

Jhooth kyun bol rahe ho Murtasim. Tumne hi toh bulaya tha mujhe.

Haya said, her voice laced with sweetness.

HAYA JHOOTH MAT BOLO!!!

Murtasim screamed at her, his fingers curling into a fist. His breathing uneven.

Meerab stared at the scene unfolding in front of her. A mixture of pain and greif ungulfed her heart, tears welled up in her eyes.

Nahin. Mera Murtasim aisa nahin ker sakta.

She spoke to herself.

Meri sari umeed toh bas ek hi se hai
From my officially wedded wife.

Law padho main tumhare sath hoon.

Koi nahin hai sirf tum ho.

Tum meerab ho, sach ka sath dene wali, himat wali, hosle wali Meerab

Please mujhe mat chodna.

Tumhein na bachata toh khud bhi zinda na reh paata.

I really love you.

Khud ko aur mujhe sambhal lena Meerab.

Meerab please believe me maine kuch Nahin kiya.

Murtasim,s pleads brought Meerab out of the beautiful past memories. She looked at Haya, her eyes were red with a mixture of hurt and anger.

Murtasim ne bulaya tha haan?

Meerab asked, her voice a dangerously calm whisper.

Haan.

Haya nodded her head in positive.

HAYA!!!

Meerab screamed. She held her by her shoulders and slapped her making her fall on the floor.

Murtasim gasped, his eyes went wide in shock.

Meerab.

Murtasim called her out, reaching out to hold her, genuinely worried for her, as she was trembling with anger, controlling her tears.

Meerab looked at Murtasim, still shaking with anger breathing heavily. Tears clouding her eyes.

Chodo mujhe Murtasim. Main aise nahin chodungi.

Meerab said, her eyes red with anger and unshed tears.

She grabbed Haya,s throat, wrapping her fingers around it tightly. Haya chocked on her breath, her eyes struggling to remain open.

MEERAB!!!

Murtasim screamed out, his eyes wide in horror.

Himmat kaise hui mere shohar ko gale se lagane ki.

Meerab spat out in anger as she tightened her grip on Haya,s neck.

Chodo mujhe.

Haya chocked out while Murtasim looked at them in shock.

Chod doongi pehle bol sorry. Sorry bol.

Meerab said.

Haya tried to say something but couldn't as her wind pipe burned. Tears rolled down her cheeks .

Nahin tum bolo sorry Murtasim bhai. Kyunke Tum aise nahin manne wali.

Meerab said angrily continuing to tighten her grip on Haya.

Yeh ho kya raha hai?

Murtasim thought. His head spun looking at the scene in front of him.

BOL SORRY MURTASIM BHAI!!! BOL!!!

Meerab yelled out loud. Haya panted and gasped for breathes.

Meerab hato meri jaan. Itna gussa theek nahin hai tumhare liye.

Murtasim said worriedly trying to pull Meerab away from Haya.

I'm sor...ry Murt....asi...m b...hai

Haya menaged to check out. Meerab loosened her grip around Haya,s throat smiling victoriously.

Yeh maine kya suna.

Murtasim wondered out loud, his eyes wide in shock for a moment before a sense of relief washed over him.

It's okay behen.

Murtasim said, a smile blossoming across his face.

Meerab stood up rubbing her palms together in happiness. Her eyes laced with satisfaction.

Murtasim held her. She leaned against his shoulder, his woody scent filling her senses and she closed her eyes, her voice a barely above a whisper, full of trust and love that stirred something deep within him.

I trust you.

Suddenly Meerab,s eyes welled up with tears.

Murtasim tum mujhse kyun pyaar kerte ho?

Meerab asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Murtasim was caught off guard by her sudden question.

However Murtasim chose to answer her. He gently cradled her face in his palms, caressing her cheeks with utmost tenderness.

Meerab main selfish nahin hoon.

Murtasim said, his voice full of emotion. He touched their foreheads. Meerab shut her eyes, a few tears escaping them as she breathed out, their hearts beating loudly against their chests in unison.

Jo mujhe tumse pyaar kerne ke liye kisi wajah ki zaroorat pade.

Murtasim said controlling his own tears, his voice full of love and sincerity.

Murtasim,s words washed over her in warm waves. His words working like a balm soothing her wounded heart making her feel loved and charished in such a way she never felt before.

Meerab looked at him, her hands reached out and gently cradled his face. Her touch a mixture of tenderness and love. She looked into his eyes, and then gazed at his lips.

Feeling a surge of courage, she planted her lips on his forehead. Shivers ran down Murtasim,s spine as he grasped her waist. His heartbeats stopped for a moment before starting to race like a bullet train, then she planted gentle kisses on his cheeks making him close his eyes.

Then she moved for a kiss on his lips. Murtasim grasped her waist and pulled her inside the room and closed the door as he shut his eyes.

Meerab looked at him, her eyes, a mixture of love and sincerity as she leaned in but Murtasim opened his eyes and stopped her.

Stop Meerab.

Murtasim said, his voice trembling slightly.

Meerab stared at him, her fears and insecurities clouded her judgement.

Kyun roka don't you want me?

Meerab asked, her voice trembling with a mixture of pain and fear.

Murtasim immediately cupped her face, fingers stroking her cheeks with tenderness and affection.

Aisa nahin hai Meerab main tumhe kitna chahata hoon tumhe andaza bhi nahin hai.

Murtasim said, his voice trembling with emotions. Eyes filled with unshed tears.

Toh roka kyun? Dil bhar gaya mujhse?

Meerab asked, her voice trembling with emotions as tears flowed down her cheeks.

Nahin Meerab aisa kuch nahin hai. Tum zindagi ho meri. Mera ishq ho.

Murtasim said gently wiping the crystal droplets away from her face.

I want you to want me Meerab. Main chahata hoon ke tum mujhe chaho, farz ya heat of the moment ke chalte nahin per dil se.

Murtasim spoke, his eyes full of love and sincerity.

Meerab looked at him, her fingers brushing against his cheek in a tentative, affectionate touch.

Murtasim aisa kuch nahin hai.

Meerab spoke, her voice trembling with the weight of her emotions she was feeling.

Meerab I love you. I love you so much but please Tum chahe mujhe maar lo mujh per gussa ker lo per please Meerab mujhe iss tarah mat todo.

Murtasim said, his words, a fragile plea that came from the depths of his heart.

Murtasim turned to the other side. His back was facing Meerab. His words tugged at her heart and she couldn't help but let out a trembling sob.

I won't regret it Murtasim.

Meerab said hugging him from behind.

Murtasim gasped feeling goosebumps travel all over his skin. His breath turned heavier as heat flooded through his body.

The contract.

As the words managed to make their way out of Murtasim,s mouth. Meerab,s mind raced back to the moment she made him sign the damn contract. A pang of guilt hit her and she immediately rushed to the nightstand. Opening the drawer, she looked for the so called contract. Once she found it, she tore the paper. The noise of the paper toring caught Murtasim,s attention pulling him out of his whirlpool of thoughts and he turned.

He watched as Meerab tore the paper, tears rolling down her eyes as she allowed herself to leave all the feelings behind and embrace Murtasim,s love wholeheartedly. Now there was nothing pulling her back.

She walked towards Murtasim, the pieces of the paper falling on the floor but Meerab seemed to care less.

Murtasim watched her with a mixture of shock and disbelief as she cradled his face in her delicate hands. He shut his eyes allowing the tears to escape. Murtasim,s heart trembled feeling a sense of love and belonging washing over him. Meerab wiped his tears, her touch delicate and loving.

Murtasim.

Meerab called out softly.

Murtasim opened his eyes and their eyes met. Meerab,s warm brown eyes filled with vulnerability reflected into his dark brown orbs. Their eyes had the same color but different shades.

Mujhe maaf karoge?

Meerab asked catching him off guard.

Kyun Meerab?

Murtasim asked, his hands gently cradling her face, stroking her cheeks with a blend of tenderness and boundless affection.

Murtasim main galat thi. Galti meri bhi thi. I don't deserve you.

Meerab said, her voice trembling with a mixture of emotions.

Meerab...

Nahin Murtasim bolne do mujhe.

Meerab said, her voice firm. She wanted to let out her emotions in front of him, apologize to him.

Maine poocha tha tumse ke tum mujhse itna pyaar kyun kerte ho woh iss liye tha kyunke mujhe Nahin lagta main tumhara pyaar deserve kerti hoon.

These words trembled out of her mouth. Murtasim,s heart shattered loudly in his ears hearing her. He let out a trembling breath.

Meerab aisa kuch nahin hai...

Murtasim tried to justify but Meerab stopped him and continued.

Aisa hi hai. Tumne mujhse bheek mangi thi Murtasim. Bheek mangi thi. Roye thy tum mere samne. Tumne mujhse kaha tha ke main sambhal loon tumhe aur apne aap ko.

Meerab cried, tears continued rolling down her cheeks as the sight flashed across her mind shaking her to the core.

Per main nahin sambhal saki, na tumhein aur na hi apne aapko.

Meerab said, her voice trembling with guilt.

Tumhein nahin pata....

But you had told me. I should have believed you.

Meerab cut him off. Her breath trembling and she gasped. Murtasim held her and took her to the bed and made her sit.

Meerab shh. Jo ho gaya so ho gaya.

Murtasim said softly holding her close.

I'm sorry Murtasim. Maine tumhe blame kiya apni sari problems ke liye.

Meerab apologized feeling her heart heavy with guilt.

Meerab it was your natural reaction. Aur tum toh meri Meerab ho na, sach ka sath dene wali, himat wali, hosle wali Meerab. Aise nahin rote.

Murtasim said gently wiping the tears that trailed down her cheeks. Meerab shook her head sideways looking at him, fingers gently brushing against his cheek, feeling his beard under her fingertips.

Nahin Murtasim nahin hoon main.

Meerab said, her voice tinged with pain.

Nahin hoon main sach ka sath dene wali, himat wali, hosle wali Meerab. Main nahin hoon.

Meerab said, the weight of her unspoken words hung heavy in the air.

Main darpok hoon. Mere andar bilkul himat nahin hai.

Meerab said, her voice trembling with emotions.

Meerab aisa nahin hai.

Murtasim said pulling her in his embrace. Meerab went willingly hiding herself against him breathing into his woody scent.

Aisa hi hai Murtasim. Main itna dar gayi ke tumse mohabbat kerne ke baad bhi mann nahin payi. Mujhe humesha yeh galat fehmi thi ke main apne dil ko protect ker rahi hoon but in reality I was surrendering to my inner demons. Maine apne dar ko apne uper haavi hone dia. Main apne inner demons se fight nahin ker saki.

Meerab laid bare her vulnerabilities in front of him. She placed her heart in his hands, trusting him that he'll charish and protect it.

She pulled away and stood up before he could say anything.

She stepped back, their eyes met, her voice tinged with sincarity and pain as she confessed.

Are main toh yeh tak nahin ke paayi ke I Love You Murtasim khan.

As the confession trembled out of her mouth. Meerab fell on the plush carpet, not being able to hold herself together anymore and she cried feeling lighter.

Murtasim couldn't help but let out a trembling breath. His heart felt full as tears rolled down his cheeks like an endless waterfall.

Murtasim sat in front of her and pulled her in a tight hug. Meerab went willingly hiding herself against him, her fingers holding onto his kurta tightly in her fist. He rubbed her back, his own tears fell unable to tolerate her state and he pulled away.

He gently kissed away her tears, A fire ignited between them. The room felt charged with tension as Meerab gathered some courage and leaned in, her hands gently cradling his face and their lips met.

The End!!!
